Installation guide

If you are not using CDE, you can start the dxpower utility from the
command line as follows:
# /usr/bin/X11/dxpower
When the dxpower utility runs, a power management window is displayed
on your screen. The window provides check boxes that you use to select
modes of operation, and scales you use to specify dwell times.
For more information about how to use the dxpower utility, start the
application and then click on the Help button in the lower right-hand
corner of the window.
4.8.3 Implementing Power Management from the Command Line
You can control power management attributes from the command line by
using sysconfig commands to manage the sysconfigdb database. For
example, you will need to use these commands if you are activating power
management for a system from a remote terminal or from a local console
terminal.
If you activate the power management tools from a console terminal where
CDE is not running, only the graphics_powerdown and
graphics_off_dwell attributes apply. Changing the
graphics_standby_dwell and graphics_suspend_dwell attribute
values has no effect. See Section 4.8.3.1 for descriptions of these attributes.
_____________________ Caution _____________________
Do not attempt to use the sysconfig commands and dxpower
simultaneously. If you do, you could encounter unpredictable
behavior.
4.8.3.1 Changing Power Management Values
Some power management attributes, such as disk_spindown are enabled
by default and can be reviewed using dxpower or by entering the following
command at a terminal:
# sysconfig -q pwrmgr

If you observe NOT READY errors in the system error log, the
problem may be due to the disk spin-down status rather than a
